Pilot Episode - Discussion with Bryan Mansfield

Описание: In this pilot episode of Let’s Disagree (and Other Interesting Conversations), Kolby sits down with his oldest friend, Bryan Mansfield ("True Mormon Quotes"), to unpack the core idea behind the channel: disagreement without hostility. Prompted by reflections on political polarization, online outrage culture, and the human tendency to caricature “the other side,” the conversation explores why respectful, intellectually honest dialogue feels increasingly rare—and increasingly necessary. Rather than framing disagreement as a contest to be won, the episode emphasizes slowing down, defining terms, and genuinely understanding how thoughtful people arrive at different conclusions.

Drawing from their shared history as former Mormons, Kolby and Bryan model the very kind of exchange the show aims to cultivate. They discuss belief, doubt, epistemology, community, identity, and the complicated reality of faith transitions—without turning the discussion into a debate. The result is a candid, often humorous, but deeply reflective conversation about truth-seeking, tribalism, and the challenge of maintaining human connection across profound differences. This episode sets the tone for a channel committed not to theatrics or point-scoring, but to curiosity, clarity, and good-faith inquiry.
